Do you need a reliable valuation for a property in the Eichstätt district? I prepare market value appraisals in accordance with § 194 BauGB and the ImmoWertV requirements, condensed appraisal reports for private use, and appraisals for remaining useful life, rental value, and mortgage lending value.
The district extends from the Altmühl Valley Nature Park to the outskirts of Ingolstadt. Gaimersheim and Kösching belong to the immediate Ingolstadt metropolitan area, while Eichstätt and Beilngries are characterized by the Altmühl Valley and its historic building stock.
What is value-relevant here
Monument protection in the Altmühl Valley. In the historic town centres, many buildings are under heritage protection or located in ensemble protection areas. This affects renovation costs, usability, and tax treatment alike.
Surrounding area of Ingolstadt. The municipalities bordering Ingolstadt to the north follow a different pricing logic than the Altmühl Valley. The district average does not reflect either of the two sub-markets.
Nature park and urban land-use planning. Nature conservation regulations in the Altmühltal Nature Park restrict the developable area. These must be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Market structure
The basis for any valuation is the data from the competent expert committee (Gutachterausschuss). The Expert committee (Gutachterausschuss) of the district of Eichstätt pursuant to Section 195 of the Building Code (BauGB) manages the purchase price register, derives standard land values from it, and publishes the real estate market report with transaction figures, price trends, and the required data — property yield rates, cost approach factors, and comparison factors. The standard land values can be viewed free of charge via the state's map service; the expert committee itself maintains the purchase price register and the real estate market report.
These data apply exclusively to the area of the respective committee. This is why a value cannot be derived from a neighboring district: a different purchase price database, a different property yield rate, and a different valuation date apply there. Relying on nationwide average values misses the mark entirely.
